About Nostalgia
Join us for Andrei Tarkovsky's unforgettably haunting film, his first to be made outside Russia.
It explores the melancholy of the expatriate through the film's protagonist, Gorchakov, a Russian poet researching in Italy. Arriving at a Tuscan village soa with Eugenia, his Italian interpreter, Gorchakov is visited by memories of Russia and of his wife and children, and he encounters the local mystic who sets him a challenging task.
Nature, the elements of fire and water, music, painting, and poetry all play a major role in this film. Whether you know of Tarkovsky's work or not, this is not to be missed.
